Hello Pumpkin GDT Card

My Hello Pumpkin Guest Design Team Card
My Hello Pumpkin Guest Design Team Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Hello Pumpkin Guest Design Team Card for the Copic for ALLE Facebook Group using Krista Smith Stamps Pretty Pumpkin Digital Stamp. I was so honoured to be asked by this group to be a Guest Designer for their YR (Yellow/Red) Copic Challenge for October. This combination screams pumpkins to me and since I haven’t coloured a Krista Smith image in a while, I thought Pretty Pumpkin would be perfect for my card! Of course, for a Fall card, you need falling paper leaves that I pulled from my stash! Hope you like my take on this Color Challenge!

Sweet Christmas Angels Cards

My Sweet Christmas Angels Cards

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Sweet Christmas Angels Cards for the Design Team of Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using her cute Angels Christmas Digital Stamp. I had so much fun colouring these cuties that I ended up colouring two stamps! One with the traditional red, green and gold. The other one with soft pastel colours of pink, blue and gold. I had a This or That post of the coloured stamps earlier this week and was pleasantly surprised that they both were popular. Many people had a hard time choosing just one and so did I! So I created two cards with the same layout, just different papers and colour schemes.

Spooky Double Z-Fold Halloween Card

Spooky Double Z-Fold Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing my Spooky Double Z-Fold Halloween Card for the Design Team of Paper Nest Dolls. I had so much fun colouring with my Copic Markers these cuties from the Spooky House Set (7 Stamps). This set comes with 7 stamps including 6 characters and a haunted house. I used the digital stamps, but this set also comes in rubber and can be found in the store here.

I had a ton of fun creating this spooky double z-fold card for our trick-or-treaters who are out roaming around! Do they dare go to the eerily spooky house on the hill??? The pirate and the ghost are headed that way!

Techniques Used in My Spooky Double Z-Fold Halloween Card

To create my spooky night sky, I used a technique called the Copic Galaxy Background. For the galaxy stars, I used my Tim Holtz Distress Splatter Brush. I also used a White Gelly Roll Pen and the Colorless Blender, to make my some of my stars appear brighter/closer.

Next I used Tim Holtz Squeezed Lemonade, Carved Pumpkin and Ripe Persimmon Distress Ink Pads with a Round Blending Tool to create my glowing moon on a stitched circle die. Using the Splatter Brush again, I splattered water onto the moon to give a bit of texture once it was dry.

I love the Spooky House that comes with this set! I had fun colouring it, especially those glowing windows and doorway! In addition to colouring them, I use a paint brush and painted a thin layer of Apple Sour Nuvo Glow Drops. I wanted the details of the broken panes of glass and the spider to still be seen, but when you turn out the lights, the windows and door glow spookily.

Happy Halloween Design Team Card

My Happy Halloween Design Team Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Happy Halloween Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. My card is using the super cute Halloween Costumes Digital Stamp! Halloween is just around the corner and this year will be different for everyone, especially the little ones.

For my card, I decided to create a haunted house scene as these cute Trick-or-treaters make their rounds. To create the spooky night sky, I used a technique with my Copic Markers that I learned from Elaine Hughes, Marker Geek. It is called the Copic Galaxy Background and was so fun to see it transform before my eyes. I didn’t have FBG2. So, I used BG32 instead and it worked just as well. For the galaxy stars, I used my Tim Holtz Distress Splatter Brush. I also used a White Gelly Roll Pen and the Colorless Blender, to make my some of my stars appear brighter/closer. I am very happy with how my night sky turned out!

Here is the link to Elaine Hughes’ Colouring Video & Step by Step Guide: https://markergeek.com/2015/07/copic-galaxy-background-colouring-video/.

My Copic Galaxy Background

I decided to create a vignette of the night sky that sets off my spooky scene. The paper with the branches and birds was perfect for my card and a die cut tree on the left adds to the branches. The haunted house is lit up ready for tricker-or-treaters, but with lots of notices to keep out. It reminds me of when I was little, some people decorated the inside of their houses as well. You could enter but beware! I decided to fussy cut the cute little animals out so that the scene can surround them. I just love them and wanted to make them the focal point of my card!

That’s Amore Anniversary Card

My That’s Amore Anniversary Card
My That’s Amore Anniversary Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing my That’s Amore Anniversary Card for the Design Team of Paper Nest Dolls. This sweet rubber stamp is called Italian Love. I coloured this cute couple to look like my Hubby and me since this card is for my Hubby and our 26th Wedding Anniversary which is today. 

This card is my homage to when we first met and started dating in university. The first time I saw him,  he was just back from a vacation in Florida. He was so tanned with his hair bleached from the sun. Hence why he is a little more tanned than me in my colouring. Lol! My hubby’s favourite dinner is spaghetti and meatballs. When we were dating, he would take me to Mother’s Pizza Parlour and Spaghetti House with their plastic red and white checked tablecloths for dinner. He would always order his spaghetti with a garlic bread with cheese. We never split it like the couple here, but that would have been so romantic!

My Happy Anniversary Design Team Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Happy Anniversary Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. It is also being used for the Using Pattern Paper Challenge over on the Rachelle Anne Miller Digital Stamps Facebook Group. My card is using the ‘Young Love’ Digital Stamp that will be release in the future. On Thursday is our 26th Wedding Anniversary and this is the card that I am giving my hubby! 

For my card, I wanted it to be all about our love with lots of hearts! I even coloured the girl and boy in our colours though it has been a long time since I have had long hair! Lol!

I love this sweet stamp so much with the boy giving his girl a Gerbera Daisy (one of my favourite flowers)! And did you see the cutest teddy bear siting on the bench beside the couple! Love that this guy is all about flowers and prezzies like mine is!! A bit of shimmer is added with the gold heart doily, Gold Foil Paper, the sequins and the jeweled brad. I also used two types of ribbon to add a softness to my card. I love the pink crochet heart and I couldn’t resist attaching the floral embellishment with the jewelled brad that mimics the gerbera daisy! Hope you like my card as much as I hope my Hubby likes it!

Hello Fall Design Team Card

My Hello Fall Design Team Card
My Hello Fall Design Team Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Hello Fall Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using her sweet Fall Dance Digital Stamp. With the last long weekend having just passed and children starting back to school, Autumn is just around the corner in Canada. I love the cooler temperatures and the changing colour of the leaves! Such a beautiful time of year! Bet you can guess that it’s my favourite season of the year!

For my card, I used autumnal colours of reds, greens, oranges, yellows and browns that I pulled from the pattern paper. The die cut and embossed leaves match the colours in the scene that I created perfectly! One technique that I used for the fallen leaves is to use the side of my Copic marker to create their shape. It’s amazing how much they look like leaves when you do this, but it’s such an easy technique! I learned this technique from the March 2020 Marker Class “Mourning Fairy” with Sweet Sentiment. I love the wooden picket fence peeking out from behind the focal point! A couple of embellishment including the wooden banner element and the Linen Thread holding the pinecone all tie together the Autumn theme of my card.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing my Sweet Wishes Birthday Card for the Design Team of Paper Nest Dolls. This cute digital stamp is called Baker Ellie Digital Stamp. I coloured her with my Copic Markers to look like me since this card was for a friend who is an amazing baker. I figured this was as close to me baking her a cake as was possible! Lol!

Mary, my friend, makes the best cakes and cake pops! They are just to die for! So, I knew that I wanted a Designer Series Paper that had lots of cakes on it. And of course, you need all the accoutrements for baking like a whisk, a rolling pin and an icing bag! Don’t you just love the little muffin pan charm with the paper flowers surrounding it!

My Happy Hanukkah Card

My Happy Hanukkah Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing my Happy Hanukkah Card! Did you see the cute new release by Paper Nest Dolls called Hanukkah Set? It comes with Mini Owen with Torah, Mini Emma with Challah, a menorah, a dreidel and the Star of David. I was so happy to see such cute Hanukkah images! They are so hard to find.

We have friends who have two little boys that I send cards to every year. So, I knew that I wanted to colour up two of the boys to represent them for my Happy Hanukkah Card. I can definitely see the younger one wanting a Torah scroll just like his big brother’s one! Lol!

I love the elegant combination of silver and blue together. So, I made them my colour scheme for my card with lots of silver accents! Since I didn’t have any Hanukkah paper, I created my own paper using a retired Stampin’ Up! stamp that I already had. It is quite striking with the shimmery silver Delicata ink on the Night of Navy card stock. For the center piece with the Menorah and Star of David, I created a sponged background of Night of Navy and Balmy Blue ink. I then splattered water and Silver Wink of Stella to add texture to it.

As a child, have you ever loved your stuffie so much? 💕 So, I wanted to create a card with lots of hearts that shows that love. It’s amazing when you are young, how your stuffies really inspire creativity, a sense of security and love! You can tell them anything! When I was little, I had a stuffie called Horse, even though he was a dog (lol…he was from a rocking horse). He was as big as me and went everywhere that I went.

My Merry & Bright Christmas Card

My Merry & Bright Card Using Holiday Gifts Avery from Paper Nest Dolls
My Merry & Bright Card Using Holiday Gifts Avery from Paper Nest Dolls

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Do you ever create non-traditional coloured Christmas cards? I couldn’t resist colouring the sweet Holiday Gifts Avery Digital Stamp in non-traditional pinks and purples for My Merry & Bright Christmas Card. Wouldn’t this stamp in these colours be a great winter birthday too! For this card, I added lots of bling with the glimmer paper snowflakes and snow bank and a ton of rhinestones. I always thought you can never have too much bling for a Christmas card! The sentiment pieces from the Doodlebug Chit Chat were a perfect complement to the card and don’t you just love the wooden present accent.

Woodland Camping Fun

My Camping Fun Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios
My Woodland Camping Fun Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Woodland Camping Fun Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using her cute Woodland Camping Digital Stamp. Isn’t this the sweetest image! I had a lot of fun colouring it with my Copic Markers! I decided to create a day time scene instead of a night time one to show you the versatility of the stamp.

Where marshmallows are involved, I love to eat them anytime! On a scale of 1 to 10, how do you like your marshmallows toasted? I love mine black on the outside and gooey melty on the inside like #9! Yum!

To make the fluffy clouds in the sky, I first masked the tent and animals with a Post-it Note. I then sponged Balmy Blue ink with a Picket Fences Blender Brush on the Krafty Scenery Stencil by Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps. By brushing the ink on the stencil in different angles, the clouds fill the sky.

I love the sentiment from the Summer Adventure Paper Pad, “Like campfires and marshmallows, we are better TOGETHER!”! It sums up this card perfectly with the little boy and his furry friends!

Peace on Earth

My Peace on Earth Card for Paper Nest Dolls
My Peace on Earth Card for Paper Nest Dolls

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I had so much fun creating my Peace on Earth Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls for the Shop@Home Christmas in July Expo that was on the weekend. This sweet stamp is called Holiday Friends. I went with a shabby chic distressed look using my distressing tool on all the papers. To add to this look, I also added Shabby White Embossing Enamel for sparkle and snow. I used my Marvy Snow Marker to create the puffed-up snow. My handmade poinsettias tie in the red colour of her dress and hat! Hope you like my PND Christmas in July card!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Chasing Butterflies Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using her sweet Chasing Butterflies Digital Stamp. I had a lot of fun creating this scene with all the wonderful layers and die cuts that make it up! There was a lot of dimensionals used to get the scene just the way I wanted. The bright colours of the card stock and Doodlebug Paper were perfect for such a happy carefree image! I can just see her running through the grass trying to catch a butterfly!

My Christmas Cookies Design Team Card

My Christmas Cookies Design Team Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Christmas Cookies Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using the Christmas Baking Digital Stamp. One of my fondest memories of when I was little was making Christmas cookies with my mom. I loved to decorate them and, of course, eat them! I still make cookies each year but have limited them to only a few favourites. Otherwise, my waist wouldn’t like me! LOL!

This sweet image was so fun to colour with my Copic Markers and I thought the cookie cutter embellishments were perfect for my card! Doesn’t the Doodlebug paper with the holly on it look like the little girl’s apron! And of course, I had to have gingerbread people holding the sentiment which suites the card to a Christmas star!
